Beer of the Week 11/2

Half Acre is definitely a favorite of mine. It’s hard to dislike a brewing company that makes great beer AND is nearly in my backyard.

This week I picked The Hammer, The Bullet, & The Vise from Half Acre. It’s an English Brown that’s thick and malty with a kick of hops to keep things balanced.

Also, it only comes in a growler, so that’s 64oz of beer to keep you occupied.

I do have an ulterior motive for picking a growler-only beer from Half Acre this week. The rumor on the street is that their tap room will be opening soon (Chicago Tribune says it’s open right now… as in 2 seconds ago). So, I’m going there to get a growler fill, but will keep my fingers crossed that I’ll end up sitting at the bar, trying out some of their new experimental beers, and thoroughly enjoying my afternoon.
